Glaciation or ice age is a long period of time in which the earth's global temperatures decrease across the board, as a result of this process the ice from the polar ice caps spreads to cover large continental areas.

Causes of Glaciations: Climate Change

Among the causes of glaciations, the most important one is the level of Greenhouse gasses in the Earth's atmosphere. Since now the Earth has a continent in its South Pole and an ocean in the North Pole, geologists conclude that the Earth will continue to suffer glacial periods in the near (geological) future.

Other relevant causes are the earth's orbit, the sun's orbit and volcanoes that emit between 100 and 250 million tons of CO2 per year. Scientists see a period of great CO2 concentration and the consequent Global Warming due to volcanic activity as one of the most plausible theories of the meltdown.

Plans for the future
The rise of the South

The key to the issue lies in realizing that there is a possibility that there will be a change in ownership in the economy in a decade. Europe, the USA and Japan currently move and feed the development machine. However, according to the 2013 Human Development Report, there will be a profound change in the global dynamics in the next decades, propelled by the new fast-growing powers of the developing world.

China has surpassed Japan as the world's second largest economy and has lifted millions of people out of poverty in the process. India is shaping its future with entrepreneurial creativity and new socio-political innovation. Brazil is increasing its standard of living through the expansion of international relations and anti-poverty programmes that are imitated around the world. But the "rise of the South" is a much larger phenomenon.

Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey and other developing nations are becoming key players on the world stage. The 2013 Human Development Report identifies more than 40 countries in the developing world that have exceeded expectations in terms of human development in recent decades, with pronounced accelerated progress during the last few years. Each of these countries has a unique history and has chosen to define its own path to development. However, they share important characteristics and face several of the same challenges. They are becoming increasingly interconnected and interdependent. The amount of people in the developing world that are asking to be heard is increasing as they share ideas through different communication channels and look for more accountability from governments and financial institutions. The 2013 Human Development Report studies the causes and consequences of the persistent "rise of the South" and identifies the policies rooted in this new reality that could foster greater development around the world in the next decades. The report requires much better representation of the South in global governance systems and points to new potential funding sources for essential public assets in the South. With recent analytical data and clear political reform proposals, the report helps chart the course for citizens from all regions to address the shared human development challenges jointly, equitably and effectively.

According to the Report's estimated projections, the combined economic production of three of the main developing countries alone (Brazil, China and India) will surpass the total production of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States by 2020. New trade and technology associations drive a large part of this expansion in the South's very interior, as the Report also shows. However, a key message included in this Human Development Report and in previous ones, is that economic development alone does not automatically translate into human development progress. Pro-poor policies and significant investments in people's abilities (with focus on education, nutrition, health and employment skills) can spread access to decent work and provide steady progress. The 2013 Report identifies four specific focus areas to sustain development momentum: improving equality, including the gender dimension; giving citizens, including young people, a voice and participation; facing environmental pressures and managing demographic change.

I was born and raised in Argentina. I studied English from an early age and always worked with languages: teaching and translating. I worked in several schools in Buenos Aires teaching ESL as well as tutoring students of all ages at home. I worked for the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company as an English instructor to company executives to help them improve their English language conversational skills. I also did translation and interpretation work for the company.

In Canada, I have taught Spanish to adults through the Toronto District School Board's Continuing Studies. I have obtained a certificate-in-translation from the University of Toronto.

I am well traveled and I have a passion for history and culture.

I am not afraid to translate into areas that I am not completely familiar with since it forces me to do research and learn new terms and expressions.

I do not rush through my translations. I take the necessary time to do research and make sure the end result is as accurate as it can possibly be while being faithful to the tone, purpose and target audience of the source text.
